The jury ordered Meta to pay the maximum penalty under the law of $5,000 per violation, totaling $375m in civil penalties for violating New Mexico’s consumer protection laws.

Meta: I guess I will only be able to spend $79.635.000.000 on my next useless venture.

I'ma bet that they spend 10 million of that 79 billion on bribes to change the law so this never happens to them again.
